1k starting army

The recent return of the wood elves has renewed my childhood love for forest folk and tree-kin! So I’m also looking to get into AoS just for the Sylvaneth to share models with a wood elf realms army since the old sculptures for treekin and ents are unfortunate.

I know almost nothing about AoS though as I mostly play 40K. Are 1k games relevant at all?

I mostly like fast movement and skirmishing pieces, Worldeaters, craftworld, tau and jetpack space marines are mostly what I’m used. Which I’ve heard is kind of Sylvaneth’s main thing besides big monsters. I’ve also played some custodes, necrons and orcs but they are less my thing.

Anyways, most content I’ve found about starting with the army either jumps straight to a full sized game or is a few years old.

My current plan is to go with spear head, gossamid archers, and an arch-revenant. Building the spearhead as Durthu, scythes and tree-revenants. That would land me at 1k exactly with two regiments which I kinda assume are like different versions of 9th edition detachments, idk I will learn how to play when I have finished painting by bashing my head into the book.

Is this enough Bulk and action pieces? Is the arch-revenant over kill on characters? Am I supposed to just get the big bug boy and call it day?

I definitely will get extra spearheads if I choose to stick with the army since it puts almost every combat patrol to shame. But would prefer so extra speed first and foremost.

TLDR spearhead, gossamid, arch-revenant good starting army for 1k games?

Thanks in advance.
